Bolivia's indigenous people are rising up and reclaiming a new homeland.
An exciting national revolution is unfolding in Bolivia today, with its indigenous peoples at its core. The movement to refound Bolivia is an inspiration to many around the world. Bolivia Rising aims to bring news and analysis about this revolution to english speakers.

Culture Minister Pablo Groux said the diaries were written by Guevara from November 7, 1966 to October 6, 1967. They were digitized in 2008 and will form the basis for the book, to include illustrations and material of political interest.

"We are publishing a facsimile copy of Comandante Che Guevara's diaries. The document has had the status of a state secret in the archives of Bolivia's Central Bank since 1985 and now people can have a look at them," Groux said.

Ernesto Che Guevara spent the last years of his life in Bolivia. He flew there in November 1966 to organize a guerilla movement, was taken captive in October 1967 and shot dead in the La Higuera village.

The diaries will be published ahead of an October 16-17 summit of the leaders of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Americas (ALBA), to be held in the Bolivian city of Cochabamba.

The Bolivarian Alternative for the Peoples of Our America was established in 2004 on the initiative of Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro, with "alternative" later replaced by "alliance."
